Dellbuntu deja vu?

We should not have too much regard to the Dell fiasco, it was a classic "go to market too early" situation, and to go to market half cocked. Like many things that Dell attempt it was done badly.

Dell is still experimenting with Ubuntu, they've come up with a version of the XPS 13 laptop especially designed for developers, with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it.

See here: Project Sputnik.

Doesn't look like this is an effort to bring Ubuntu to the masses, it's more a hobby project of a Dell employee than an attempt to make it a commercial success.

LOL I I wouldn't even call the dell oferring an attempt, at least ASUS tried... before they pulled that whole it runs better with Windows thing campaign and basically dumped Linux....
